Dude, those are pretty high-end! Love the print quality on the 61, the perfect black on that card is key. And the deep, even red of the 59. 53 Bowman is one of prettiest cards around. Hope you are at the show having fun!

What I was thinking as well! No way I could likely afford those.

Didn't go Matt. Between the prices on everything now a days and the location, I just didn't have any desire to make the trip to Atlantic City. The 60 Mantle you posted is flat out off the charts. That's my favorite card of Mantle. I am partial to the the horizontal cards on the whole.

Thanks, bro. It's a major lynchpin in my Mick run. Finding one with the main picture focused is really tough. And if it's not that it's the PD in the red.

Speakin' of 53 Bowman Mantles, gotta post a pic of the flyweight "pound-for-pound" champ LOL. Love this little guy. He's like a gift from the grading game. A few letters of text on back exhibit ink fade. Harshest grade I ever seen LOL! Card looks as good as my 7.

That 2.5 is amazing. A perfect example of net54's buy the card not the holder motto.

Very nice!

Could you possibly post a pic of the back to show how this card became a 2.5?

I agree, on the front, it looks every bit as good, if not better, than your 7!

Tell you what Matty, if you want to make a couple of bucks off that 2.5 Mantle, I'll go ahead and give you grade 3 dollars.

Just trying to be a friend and help out!
